I've attacked lots of monsters and I didn't catch rabies again. And I haven't even been playing for half a year.
I don't really like the idea of restarting. Then, there goes 4 months of work. And I've only been on for that long. There are people who've been on for years. They won't wanna train all the way back up again. And it's not like that bug from a long time ago will come up again just for them, so they can get back up to level 110 again.
I may not be suffering anymore from rabies, but please please please do something about it, guys! You've made a great game, so how hard could it be to fix something?
